Gawgia and UF on our heels!


People can talk crap about us all they want. It's a message board, whatever. People can post mindless, stupid drivel til the cows come home and I'll shrug it off.

But holy shite this misspelling is one of my biggest pet peeves ever. In what possible realm or universe would "gawgia" pronounce "georgia"?

It's fricking "jawja". If you're going to try to be insulting (which, btw, pronouncing the name of the Empire State of the South [yes that's an official state nickname] in a thick southern drawl isn't an insult at all), at LEAST spell it right.

Gawga is phonetically pronounced gaw-guh
Gawgia is phonetically pronounced gaw-jee-uh

The only way to spell it and have it sound like the actual state name is jawja. For fricks sake.

I lived in Jawja for 13 years. Trust me when I say, people who don't live in Jawja don't get it
